My self-summary
Irreverent, sensual, AND intellectual type who likes asking ‘why’ and looking for answers, riding motorcycles and watching movies, dancing, and thought-provoking conversation.

I am self-reliant and independent, but also like using the pronoun "we." While finding love would be wonderful, I'm most interested in companionship, stimulating discussion, affection and/or wild sex (If you are lucky, it will be with you.).

Learning and discovering new things are simply part of who I am, so if I meet someone with in-depth knowledge in a field or subject I will try to get them to share their insights with me. Although I am fascinated with science, I pay close attention to beauty in its many forms: I studied art history and made art in college (photography was my favorite). I follow trends in fashion, art, and design. I work primarily as a hairdresser, though I have a PhD in German Studies (Yes, really). Ask me about my dissertation topic on sacrifice, you might get lucky. 'Cause if you don't, you won't.

Cooking and making cocktails are passions. I have also gotten into sewing in the last few years, making clothes mostly. Though I won't darn your socks, I would hem your pants if you asked nicely...

To work off the meals and drinks, I dance, swim laps, ride my bicycle, and go for long walks. More hiking in the Northwest is on the to-do list. I’d love some help with that.

Road trips, in any country, are my favorite form of traveling. I've been to many countries in Europe (I lived in Berlin) and I've taken countless car and motorcycle trips in the U.S. Some of those motorcycle trips were taken solo: my round trip from Portland to Colorado, for instance. Fantasy road trips I would like to make a reality: Turkey, Vietnam, Argentina, Brazil...

I like men who are intellectually inquisitive and confident, physically fit and active. I admire skill and intellectual prowess -- they are aphrodisiacs. If along with these qualities you also possess a wry sense of humor, a well-worn pair of Carhartts, and cool shoes (I'm serious about the shoes), I look forward to hearing from you.

If all you like about my profile are my bike or the fact that I have breasts, please come up with something more interesting to say before going there. Only respond if you have a photo, and if you live in or around the Portland area. If we meet, please don't chew my ear off. Ask me questions to show you are curious and interested.
What I’m doing with my life
After a profound loss suffered recently, I am appreciating the moments of joy and beauty and my relationships with friends.
I’m really good at
Kissing, coming up with theories, thinking critically, discussing books and films, asking questions, cooking, making cocktails, dancing, motorcycle riding, cutting hair, writing.
The first things people usually notice about me
My hair, my green eyes with brown flecks, my laugh, my butt when I walk away...
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Books: Recent fave is War and Peace (19th century novels in general), trashy novels with strong plots such as Game of Thrones. Want to read something by George Saunders.
Shows: Dexter, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Game of Thrones, True Blood, Treme, Downton Abbey...
Movies: loved Spring Breakers, Django Unchained was a blast, films by R.W. Fassbinder, Lars von Trier, classic films (Barbara Stanwyck in nearly anything), film noir (Killer's Kiss, The Killing, Paths of Glory by Stanley Kubrick -- bonus points if you've seen any of them!)
My musical tastes range from classical, rock-a-billy, to hip-hop. But folksy, singer-songwriter music? Snore... Can I have sex to it? Then I like it... A bit superficial perhaps, but for me music has got to activate primal feelings (melancholy, joy, the urge to dance...).
The six things I could never do without
Thought-provoking conversation
After-sex languor
My food processor
A cocktail shaker
Movement
Humor -- the darker the better
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Too many things: ideas (evolutionary role of religion, do aesthetic experiences influence our behavior, why we are hardwired to crave stability and structure but also change and transformation?), important trends in science (neurobiology, evolutionary psychology, advances in cancer research), what to cook (ever made a turkey confit?), movies, fashion...
On a typical Friday night I am
Having dinner and drinks with friends (either eating out or making the meal together), dancing...
I’m looking for
  • Guys who like girls
  • Ages 40–55
  • Near me
  • Who are single
  • For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners
You should message me if
you are interested in meeting for a drink to see if there is a spark.
